Take a deep breath.


This isn't a no carb diet....it is a low carb diet. Yes a lot of items have sugar in them. Trick is to find the lowest amount.

You should be consuming 20 carbs a day, the bulk of which comes from fresh salads and veggies. Fresh meats (the kind you get from the butcher) normally have zero carbs unless they have been marinated in something. Instead of buying the pre-seasoned meats try to do them at home where YOU control the ingredients.

It really isn't as hard as you think it is once you get the hang of shopping I have been doing this for 15 months now and it is a breeze compared to what I was buying.

Watch the bacon, ham and sausages....they are high in nitrates and salt which can make you retain water.
